Sonny Franzese also operated out of Queens during his heyday. Big in Jackson Heights according to his son.

Also, I'm not sure about how much of a force he was in the area, but Gambino consigliere Joe Gallo was based in Astoria, Queens.


Joe Laratro the Luchese capo? He was Corona based? I had no idea Luchese (including Neil Migliore) had a Corona faction. I thought it was all Genovese and Bonanno.

Anyone have more info on this lineage?


Looking through some of these files it seems Laratro and Migliore both came up in Corona.

In this interview with an FBI agent, Laratro says he used to be a bookmaker in Corona, and is now the president of Migliore Funeral Home, which is also in Corona.

Judging by where they lived and were arrested they both seem to have later moved operations to Long Island.
